This monograph examines the prolific career of Brooks Stevens, the American industrial designer who defined the aesthetic of mid-twentieth-century consumer culture. Through a detailed analysis of his work for companies like Harley-Davidson and Stker, the text explores how Stevens pioneered the concept of planned obsolescence and integrated modern design principles into the fabric of everyday American life.
